Language in Fraser
The languages spoken in homes across the area, beyond English.
A jump of 18 percentage points since 2011 means more people in Fraser now speak a language other than English at home. Over half the population now uses a second language, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas of its kind.
Languages at home
English and the largest community languages.
About 53.2% of people use a language other than English at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This diversity is reflected in the 20% who speak Vietnamese, while 13.1% speak little or no English—a figure that is well above the Victorian average.
